1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: This study examined the associations between the Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index and its combined indices (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR) with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). It also explored whether sleep quality mediated these relationships. Method: A total of 157 adolescents (12-18 years) with MDD were recruited. Participants were divided into NSSI (n = 78) and non-NSSI (n = 79) groups based on DSM-5 criteria. The TyG index and its derivatives were calculated from fasting blood samples. Analyses included multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, mediation analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: The NSSI group had higher TyG index values (Median [Q Conclusion: The TyG index and its combined indices are positively associated with NSSI in adolescents with MDD. Sleep quality partially mediates this relationship. These indices may serve as low-cost markers for early identification of adolescents at risk for NSSI in clinical practice.
